I couldn't make out the pics very well but i suspect the thing is a NTC thermistor. They are used to limit the big surge current as the capacitors are charged at initial switch on. Leaving it out might mean the mains fuse blows on switch on. If this happens you could try anti surge fuse. PS they are designed to run hot, so don't panic!

Thanks for that really good explanation. I think it would work for me, i wouldn't be adjusting monitor mixes mid song!

How do you set the monitor mixes. With the xr18 you get a different set of faders for each mix, guess you won't get that with the l20 unless they're motorised faders?

Ah, i havent tried my eub yet.

how do you eq on the fly, on the bass or on the panel? Doing it on the panel if you've set a preset what you see on the knobs isn't what you're actully getting. Now whilst gigging i would be far too confused!

Have got rather confused with all the presets and options available so have just decided to use it straight as it comes. An amp with a nice compressor, drive, 3 effects built in and a blooming on off switch on the front, not often seen these days! Got it for £350 from bass bros. Well pleased! First gig on Saturday.

I have a unity 700 head I've been meaning to put up for sale for ages pm me if it's of interest

Thank you!

I'd love to hear a comparison of the darkglass v boss

The graphics eq is in the System settings section. Does that mean it's a global setting for all presets?

Too true but the foh will lose the fx eq etc. Fingers crossed a firmware upgrade will allow a bit more control of the hpf routing.

getting the hang of it now. dissappointed that the high pass filter knob affects the DI output AND the cabinet. I use the HPF to stop the stage boom but want the FOH sound bod to apply or not apply HPF to suit.

Thx for the tip.

Ps i wish it had an input overload led to help set the input gain

A head arrived yesterday and had a great hour or two playing on my own. During band practise last night i seemed to spend ages getting the sound right. I've been using an rm800 recently, not for the 800W but cos i like the sound. I seeemed to fiddle with the katana a lot more to get it right. Might not have helped that the android app thought i had a Bluetooth connection but it didn't actually change the amp settings. I'll definitely keep it and continue to fiddle but not sure I'll gig with it for a while. Regarding needing footswitches to get all the patches that's a real pain, i often play crowded pub stages with not much space for my own feet let alone a foot pedal. Regarding volume, no probs at all would certainly do a pub gig with 4ohm cabs. Regarding list of fx there seems to be 2 differt menues one a lot more comprehensive than the other. A bit confusing. Early days and good fun at home for sure. I hope to get confidence for gigs as i like a hpf compressor and a bit of drive in one box. Suspect I'll end up using it on panel mode mostly.
